International Center’s two fundraising priorities:
1) Student Emergencies:
Your support will cover essential student needs, including academic related expenses, basic living expenses, or medical expenses so they can continue their studies.
2) Engagement Opportunties
Your support would enhance the experience and increase the variety of our programs and activities that will strengthen the UC Irvine community by facilitating meaningful cultural exchanges and build cross-cultural connections.
